The 2024–25 Skeleton World Cup (official: BMW IBSF Skeleton World Cup) is a multi-race series over a season of skeleton, organised by International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF). It is the 39th edition for men and 29th edition for women of the highest international race series in skeleton and constitutes the bulk of the elite season in terms of events. The World Cup series consists of eight events across seven locations.
The season started on 16 November 2024 in Pyeongchang, South Korea and will end on 7 February 2024 in Lillehammer, Norway.[1] The first three events, two back to back i Pyeongchang and one in Yanqing form the Asian swing, while the final four events form the European swing. No World Series events are held in North America in 2025.
The eighth and final event in Lillehammer will include for eligible athletes the 2025 IBSF European Skeleton Championships.
The highlight of the season, the 2025 IBSF Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Championships in Lake Placid, United States, will follow the World cup series, but its results will not be included in the IBSF World Cup standings.
